Round 2 of the Eastern Conference playoffs will kick off tonight when the Washington Capitals play host to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It’s a known fact that Pittsburgh’s Sidney Crosby and Washington’s Alex Ovechkin have a distaste for each other and that will make for some exciting hockey. The home team between these two clubs is 8-0 in the last 8 meetings and the Penguins are 1-4 in their last 5 trips to Washington. Home ice advantage didn’t play a factor in yesterday’s games but I think it will in this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Washington Capitals
